• Daryl asked about my "new" job. I Met wonderful people at work on December 20, 2007 , but on the 26th, I got a better paying job offer from my former employer. So I decided to accept that instead. My last day as a housekeeper was on the 28th.

• I have not had work since September 12 this year. That's 3 months of vacation for me. My bank account is starting to get depleted and so I need to look for work ASAP. Here you see my Application papers for various job opportunities within Fernie. All I need now is a job with a structured schedule and full time in nature.

• A Stray cat - poor kitty. always hungy. It seems like it's owners have forgotten about him. We don't even know what the cat's name is. But it sure looks like it's been neglected, so we can't help but feed it. Poor thing. It comes over everyday for a a meal.
